I have added a new human verification program to the comments section.  This is to combat spammers who have been relentlessly spamming this little niche travel blog with the most ridiculous advertisements.

All you have to do is answer a simple question such as “How many wings does a bird have?”

I apologize for the inconvenience but it will only take a couple seconds to answer the question.  If you are a new commenter, you will go to the moderation queue automatically.  I don’t censor comments so once I wake up in Australia and see it, I will approve it, then you will be able to comment with automatic approval.

If I happen to be traveling in a remote area with no internet, there may be some delay to first comment approvals or my replies to comments.  Sorry in advance, birds usually are best seen out in the bush so these things can’t be helped!
